Adding a lousy book to the library doesn't ruin the library.
With a novel though, adding a lousy chapter does affect the book. I say novel because u read a novel in its entirety. If it were a reference manual however it is more like a library than a book in that it is a collection of things independent of (though related to) each other and as such no one part 'ruins' the whole as the whole is in a sense irrelevant.
The quality of the Web is not affected by adding poor content. The reason is the Web is not really a single thing in the way that a novel is. You do not consume the Web as a whole like reading a book but rather pick out the content which is of interest to you. The quality of Web you get is determine by you as the Web as a whole has everything from the absolute worthless to pure gold.
